This historic photograph captures the momentous occasion of the opening of the New Channel in Belfast Harbour on August 28, 1849. The New Channel was a significant engineering feat of the time, designed to improve the accessibility and capacity of the harbor for larger ships and increased transportation needs. The opening ceremony was a grand spectacle, attended by thousands of people from all walks of life, including local dignitaries, merchants, and laborers. In the foreground of the image, a procession of boats and ships can be seen making their way through the newly-opened channel, led by a naval vessel flying the Union Jack. The boats are adorned with flags and banners, and their sails are fully hoisted, creating a vibrant and colorful scene.
